Looking handsome Steve.
There is something about the smell of raw lumber. I used to love it.

Beauty David, enjoy these days while you can.

Thanks and I'm trying to enjoy the decent weather

Good morning,  Gentlemen Guardians!

I'll be carrying this fine lamb today. If what I've read holds true, the heartwood should lighten in color over time. That will certainly be neat to witness!

That looks very nice Kurt

Thanks buddy, will do

That was the Parade of the Bigwigs on Yorkshire Day in York. Soon after I arrived, I heard some noise, and came upon the scene of local mayors, and assorted other well-to-do types walking towards the Minster. There were loads of press photographers, and keen amateurs, with their tripods, assembled, but I managed to snap a few pics. It was only later, hen I began to edit them, that I realised that many of the Great & Good were looking directly at me, and a few were trying not to cackle. Then I remembered I had been wearing my 'Straight Out Of Yorkshire' T-shirt, which always generates a few laughs I'll have to remember that for the future

We need to see that t-shirt.

Hard to get the Katalox in a picture but it sure is cool. The department sponsored a calendar this year. Primary school kids submitted art in a keep our river clean contest. I like this one.

Very shortly after I made my last post, a piece of perfection arrived at the door, in the form of a long-anticipated package, or rather its contents Some time ago, Generous Bob contacted me, and offered to sponsor a Lambsfoot made by our friend Cosimo de Bendetto of Italy, with my choice of design and materials. I was left speechless by the generosity, but in due course, the 3 of us embarked on this project. I took a month or two to think about what I would like to see, and then put forward my proposition to Cosimo, my Dream Lambsfoot. I was very exacting in what I specified, but Cosimo did not flinch for an instant. For example, I wanted the Triple Rattail bolsters to be perfect, and Dwight @Fodderwing very kindly assisted by taking some fantastic photos of 2 of his knives. I was very happy with Cosimo's K720 Bohler carbon steel, but asked if he could also use that for the liners and bolster, as well as the blade. The frame is a little bit larger than Eric Alber's, but smaller than the one I've seen on Cosimo's other Lambsfoot knives. It has a beautiful amount of sway, and fits my hand perfectly. The knife has the perfect amount of weight to it. The Lambsfoot blade is perfection itself, with lovely swedges, and a well-placed, nail-nick. There is a half-stop, and the pull is just right. As you can see from the photos, the covers are ram's horn, something I had always wanted to see on a Lambsfoot, but without their natural character completely polished away. What a knife! My deepest thanks to Bob for making this possible, and for encouraging me out of my complacency, and to Cosimo for his wonderful work. I also hope that Cosimo enjoyed the project, because he really did an amazing job, and was very easy to communicate with, despite the language barrier between us. I love the fact he has a Lambsfoot image on his business card

Some hastily-taken photos, and I hope to get better ones soon

Jack, what an amazingly stunning knife!! Congratulations!!!

Cool Porch photo, and stellar stag HHB, Steve!

Thanks Gary!

Did a batch of mushroom ketchup, went a bit heavy on the nutmeg but I’m kinda digging it

Not really sure how I feel about mushroom ketchup, especially if it's anything like Vegemite!

I hope you enjoyed it though!


Good afternoon Guardians! Been a really hectic 2 weeks or so..... Trying to read back through the thread, but I might have to just start fresh again.

This one's been with me the whole time

Good Thursday to you Guardians. That picture Jack is funny. I’m a maybe about the shirt story. They were laughing though so they couldn’t have been shocked I guess. And you’re not locked up so my suspicion has to be mistaken. Hanging out with those Ted’s can be a bad influence. The woman not smiling with the cudgel mace thing looks a bit scary and might know you guys from the Leeds Market. Look out for that one and maybe give her a piece of cake. She doesn’t look friendly like kind hearted Shirley.

Here’s some pics of a new lambsfoot. Right next to the bottom of the bolster on the pile and mark sides are two “blind pins” which are attached through the liner side. Willem I think was insuring the ram horn would be that much more stable. I sure like the ram horn. But Steve’s lamb rehandle by Glenn has my favorite ram horn covers. Jack’s “Aries” is up there too. Damasteel blade and round bar pattern damasteel for the shield. A fine K’roo.

The damasteel is incredible Kurt. It goes well with the horn.

Very nice stag on your HHB.

Very nice stag on your HHB.

Thanks Bob, it's a fantastic worry stone while I drive around! I've driven almost 30,000 miles this past year, not including when I'm a passenger. At that rate, I'd almost expect it to be darn near perfectly smooth if I had it with me every day!

Hi Guardians,

Just checking in Glad you're all ok Jeff Thanks for all the kind words folk, been having fun with The Legend! We went to a Nepalese restaurant earlier, pretty unusual Have a great day everyone

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

I’ve decided to run with a theme for a few posts and celebrate a bit of Aussie music.

Of course accompanied by lamb content.

I like Stripey!

I have to say, I have several knives like this..... Good figure on one side and no figure on the other side. Usually the good figure seems to be on the pile side and I'm right handed, so I don't get to see it as much.

Thank you sir.

Guardians, I hope you don't take this personally, but I'm hoping the Guardians (Cleveland's baseball team - formerly the Indians) lose their playoff series to "my" Detroit Tigers.

More LamBarJack hanging out with food (mostly healthy):
